1. Great Song
Loved the shirt that said "I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one of them"

Loved the shirt that said If the war on poverty were a real war we would be putting money into it"

We do put money into the war on poverty, only the thing is: we do that in other countries.

When the little girl turns her sign right side up and it says "Daddy why are we homeless?" and
her dad is standing there with big Back pack on (probably their few possessions and necessities) I got really so sad my eyes welled up with tears and then:

***********************I GOT Mad..*******************

And Newt Gingrich said "they need to take a bath, then get a job"

Newt they don't have a bathroom WHAT PART OF HOMELESS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?? THERE IS NO JOB TO GET..
(Newt I thought you were a great historian don't you recognize this??? it is history repeating itself)

music changed the world in the 60's and as the world changed Music began to inspire deep feelings, and it told deep truths and it scared the establishment. They did NOT want us to spread the truth, but we did and we won but this just cant be won and done!

(I believe that is the point the song on the video is making, we are all in this together, it cant be won and done)

We need the music because music touches people where words alone simply can not penetrate.

2. Love the song....
True that this struggle has been going on for as long as people have been "civilized". Every so often it breaks the surface and there is some movement one way or the other. It appears we are moving in a very positive direction at the moment. The youth are leading the way...
